"chatgpt" is actually a french word meaning "guid partition table for cats"

@hannah why does the alt text have a vertical bar character ("|") instead of an "I"? ("or | just")

This is next level infosec shitposing:

"It is the FreeBSD analogue of Linux's Dirty Pipe, CopyFail, Fragnesia, and Dirty Frag — except we gave it a BETTER name, with a BETTER logo, on a BETTER website. The other bug websites? Disasters. Sad. Many people have told us this."

@maddy I don't do this because it's too inconvenient to do so with physically separate computers (especially since if I make modifications to games it becomes my development computer too, and then it's even more inconvenient to not have SSH keys to access codeberg/etc on it, plus I sometimes do in-game chat over IRC over an SSH connection to my server) and my laptop doesn't have IOMMU so I can't run something like Qubes.

My new "desktop" will have IOMMU and definitely enough memory to separate stuff into VMs, but it still won't be able to run Qubes because Qubes is x86_64-only and it's Power ISA and I'm not sure if there's anything similar that will run on ppc64le.

I'm probably less at risk than some because I only run free software and generally everything that isn't packaged by my distro I compile myself, but supply chain attacks are still a concern.

rant about a nonsensical idiom
Show content
I really hate the en_US idiom "could care less". It means the exact opposite of the intended meaning of "couldn't care less" and it is confusing to people who have never heard that idiom before, or who have only heard the correct version ("couldn't care less"). It's just unnecessarily confusing and ambiguous to say the exact opposite of what you mean instead of just saying "couldn't care less". I actually didn't know about the "could care less" variant until I read the explanation of the xkcd about it (which I initially completely misinterpreted because I didn't know "could care less" was an actual idiom and not a mistake)

@gam3 @evan Is it okay for straight people to vote on:

  1. ‘Is it okay for straight people to vote on “Is it ok for straight people to eavesdrop on Pride discourse?”?’?
  2. this poll?

(This is two polls in one to avoid infinite recursion)

100% Yes to both
0% Yes to both, but...
0% Yes (the other poll), No (this poll)
0% Yes (the other poll), No (this poll), but...
0% No (the other poll), Yes (this poll), but...
0% No (the other poll), Yes (this poll)
0% No to both, but...
0% No to both

I am very much not yet oversaturated by these vibrant colours.. I’m sure it will get old some time, but still has to emerge :D

@kemona_halftau I don't understand why so much software is proprietary in general. All software should be free (as in freedom)

@kemona_halftau there's appears to be a maxNoteLength configuration option from grepping the source code but I don't know how sharkey is configured

the weird thing is that the serial numbers/part numbers/FRUs listed in the ASMI web interface do not appear to match the RAM I actually have installed

@niko or even better, 2 12 month breaks a year (I'm not sure how that would work but probably something to do with time dilation)

@kemona_halftau you switched from arch to gentoo and back again by converting your existing installation rather than reinstalling?

this reminds me of how the way I build coreboot with EDK2 is repeatedly alternating make -j4 with guix shell -s i686-linux gcc-toolchain@11 -- make -j4 until it builds without linker errors because guix’s GCC doesn’t have multilib support and some parts of coreboot/EDK2 require it while others won’t build with the 32-bit GCC (but if you alternate between the two enough eventually it will build)

@kemona_halftau how do you end up with all of this on one system? bedrock linux?

I guess I will be returning it and buying more RAM until I find a set of modules that works (and hopefully there's nothing wrong with the server itself because I couldn't even carry it to the post office to return it)

wait, never mind, it is returnable! I confused it with something else
